0개국어, pronounced ‘yeong-gae-guk-eo’, is a modern Korean term that is often used humorously to describe someone who cannot properly use even one language, usually their native tongue. It is commonly used to describe situations in which someone who knows a foreign language to some extent begins to forget their native language, or mixes the two to the point that communication becomes awkward.
